Communing with the Dead - Reclaiming Our Seance Rites

Featuring Asia Babb Strong

Sunday, August 10

1:30 pm

St Mary Salon 1 [map]

Full Schedule

Communing with the dead by inducing physical, otherworldly phenomena by means of séance was at one time a growing trend. People would gather socially in their homes and create the proper circumstances for spiritual visitation, followed by tea, snacks, and banter.

The practice of mediumship in England and North America over the last 200 years has a storied history, coloured with rumors of fraud, buried or discredited studies of true phenomena, and deadly attacks from the threatened patriarchy.

A way of life that was once on its way to becoming a daily norm was nearly snuffed out, and the idea of intentional physical manifestation reduced to mere lore.

In this workshop, learn about the social movement of true séances and the modern-day underground preservation of this practice. We'll discuss traditional techniques and explore ways that you can access this real magickal tool that was stolen from us for fear we would gain too much power.

Join Asia Babb Strong in this workshop as we reclaim our rights to commune with our friends across the veil by incorporating lost ways into our modern-day practices.
